7447 IC BCD to 7-Segment Decoders/Drivers Common Anode DIP-16

The 7447 IC BCD to 7-Segment Decoder/Driver is a widely used digital IC designed to convert a 4-bit Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) input into signals that can directly drive a common anode 7-segment display. Packaged in a standard DIP-16 form, this IC simplifies numeric display interfacing in digital systems by decoding binary values (0–9) into the corresponding decimal digit on the display. It integrates active-low outputs, lamp test, ripple blanking, and latch-enable functions for versatile control. Ideal for counters, digital clocks, calculators, and other display-based applications, the 7447 ensures efficient and reliable conversion of BCD data into readable visual output.

Features

  • Converts BCD (4-bit) input into 7-segment display outputs.

  • Designed for common anode 7-segment displays.

  • Provides active-low outputs for direct display driving.

  • Supports lamp test (LT), ripple blanking (RBI/RBO), and latch enable (LE) functions.

  • Can display decimal digits 0 to 9 with proper decoding.

  • Open-collector outputs allow easy interfacing with LEDs.

  • Low power consumption with reliable TTL logic compatibility.

  • Packaged in DIP-16 for easy breadboard and PCB integration.
